The Tozando headquarters have been based in Kyoto's district of Nishijin for many years now, an area of the city which has long been famous traditional tailoring, in particular in the production of Japanese Kimono. At Tozando's main store, we have a full team of former Kimono tailors and seemstresses who work each day to produce the best quality in Budo uniforms and wears.

The Tozando Tailor-Made Iaido Hakama is the result of extensive research we have made throughout the years, and is therefore based on Tozando's perpetual awareness of the Hakama design and development.

Now, for the first time, we are offering you the possibility to own a completely tailor-made Hakama, made exclusively to your measurements and requirements.

Especially developed for use in Iaido, these Hakama feature a sturdy Koshi-ita, to give additional support to the lower-back and help encourage a correct posture.

PLEASE NOTE - Each of our Custom Hakama are completely made to order, by professional tailors and seamstresses here in Kyoto, Japan. Every effort is made to ensure that each garment is produced with the utmost care and attention, and no corners are cut in their manufacturing. For this reason, production usually takes around 4-6 weeks as standard.

Please also consider that because the Tozando Tailor-Made Iaido Hakama is a customised product, no returns will be accepted.Made in Japan!

The fabric, the sewing, the cut, all is perfect. This is the Hakama I dreamed of. Also the service is excellent: always very friendly und kind. Thank you very much Tozando!!! — I will order again!

Ordered this and after a little more than one week it finished shipping to me. Stitches and joints are done very well, overall a really neat and beautiful product, good fabric... Color has a hint of navy in it (at least compared to my old hakama from a different producer).Fits very well (I mean its custom made, so no surprise here), so you will notice the difference to a non-custom one immediately.

Sumptuous

I ordered the cashmere feel polyester Iaido hakama with my name embroidered on the koshiita and the pleats sewn in place and an extra wide front to accommodate a more 'western frame'.

It's a gorgeous piece of tailoring. The material is thick and has a slightly silky feel to it. The cut and sewn-in pleats means it hangs just beautifully in a way off-the-shelf hakama just don't especially if you have a bit of a belly! The material allows for silent hakama sabaki but the flowy nature of the material takes a bit of getting used to after stiffer tetron. The suggested length of the himo are longer than I'm used to but the allow for nicer tying knots. The embroidery is very nice and the characters are nice and large. Measuring the correct length is vital. Do it several times on different days or get a seamstress to do it and take an average. If you get this wrong, it'll be a disaster!
